I think it’s good for people to read and learn about that because there are still so many people that don’t know of all the benefits. A great place to <a href="http://www.lacensebeef.com/catalog/new-fall-catalog.aspx" rel="nofollow">buy grass fed beef</a> is from the La Cense Beef ranch located in Montana. You can order online and have it delivered directly to you. I like their website because they also give you tips on how to cook the beef to maximize the delicious flavors.Karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01488689391410029111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-16800379486660564352012-02-06T09:37:03.590-08:002012-02-06T09:37:03.590-08:00This looks amazing.

It&#39;s more of a treat because of the price, but it&#39;s worth it for the health benefits, sustainability, and the flavor!Tasty Eats At Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07073984731642037393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-52104804291619904352012-02-05T11:29:25.965-08:002012-02-05T11:29:25.965-08:00Delish!

I add one additional spice, herbs de provence, and it gives it a nice flavor.<br /><br />The farmer that I buy from sells chuck roast cheaper than already cut up stew meat. It does take a little extra effort, but doing the cutting myself saves me about $2 a pound.Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08103982632248684489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-11983314085690378102012-02-02T17:45:46.599-08:002012-02-02T17:45:46.599-08:00I am so happy to read that you are listening to yo...I am so happy to read that you are listening to your body and eating meat when you feel you need it. I think your approach to eat it at this stage in your childbearing years and to find a good source of the best kind of red meat is the sane approach. I was the same way. As I have gone through menopause, I don&#39;t feel that same need to eat meat as often, but my athlete daughter does. Adjusting the budget and being sensible about who needs it and when eating red meat is beneficial is just another way to be a mindful, responsible eater.Wendy @ Celiacs in the Househttp://celiacsinthehouse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-17374668672028536732012-02-02T17:28:04.476-08:002012-02-02T17:28:04.476-08:00What kind of slow cooking do you use?

It&#39;s a nice change on a cold snowy day. I&#39;ve spent lots of time as a vegetarian and even lived the vegan lifestyle for a couple of years, but I seem to do better having a small amount of carefully chosen animal products. Your stew looks great, Ali!<br />MelissaMelissa @ Gluten Free For Goodhttp://www.glutenfreeforgood.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-37327216533292372452012-02-02T15:51:16.779-08:002012-02-02T15:51:16.779-08:00After reading your post, I am very grateful that w...After reading your post, I am very grateful that we no longer eat ground beef. Instead we eat ground venison sourced from our family members. I&#39;m all for grass-fed and organic, but it&#39;s limited around here and $20 for a single steak from the one source I know if is too much for our budget. For a while, we had a source on the way to our mountain property and loved filling our cooler with great meats when we&#39;d stop by. Now, we largely eat venison over beef, even for stew. Anyway, this recipe looks really great, Ali--thanks!<br /><br />Shirleygfe--gluten free easilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-62429166512149514382012-02-02T15:43:06.918-08:002012-02-02T15:43:06.918-08:00This has been a tough area for myself and my husba...This has been a tough area for myself and my husband. For a while he agreed on only grass-fed beef, but then when we moved the prices were too high for him to stomach. He went off of all red meat for a little while, but lately has been craving it and buying the regular stuff. I need to get him back on track!<br /><br />This recipe looks great Ali, and perfect for less expensive cuts of better beef.Alisahttp://www.alisacooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076404144273849876.post-48472230273601280942012-02-02T15:33:40.418-08:002012-02-02T15:33:40.418-08:00Hi Ali, I know what you mean, being vegetarian and...Hi Ali, I know what you mean, being vegetarian and vegan for years of my life, I know the debate, both sides, and it is a sensitive topic! I have found eating organic grass fed meat helpful when I have been on strict elimination diets (after initial phases and while nursing.) Also, when my daughter was first diagnosed with celiac, we where vegan. In addition to avoiding wheat we needed to avoid about 20 other foods we were used to eating. Organic turkey was quick and filling...anyhow thanks for sharing I look forward to trying this, we eat good quaility beef from a local farm about once per month here.

I don&#39;t like pork anyway but is it that much less healthy than beef? Just curious.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01814491407726136630noreply@blogger.com
